Asked to design a company logo, LaBossiere, a former Cromwell resident, successfully pitched a more extensive use after seeing the space. After 20 hours of labor, he completed the design that is now seen large-scale as a 16-by-43-foot mural.

Transformed by the magic of trompe l’oeil painting, the white space now has become the inside of an old barn with post-and-beam architecture, plank walls, brown bottles and antique signs.

The startup microbrewery, which offers pints, growlers and flights (samplings of several types of beer), has been open just three weeks and was five years in the making, according to Scott Barbanel, president of Still Hill Brewery. He’s secured about 20 investors in the company, many of whom are from Middletown.

The microbrewery offers four beers on tap, including three year-round and one seasonal — American IPAs, American style, American Amber ales, and classic American pale ales. During the week, Still Hill packaging operations focus on stock for distribution. In the future, they’ll provide kegs to restaurants and bars and in bottles to selected package stores, Barbanel said.

According to the website, Still Hill is a hill in South Glastonbury. “In the 1800s, if you stood on Still Hill, you could see the whole town of Glastonbury. One of the town’s founding fathers had a working still on the hill, hence the name. Fast forward to present day, and our family home is on Still Hill. I’ve been brewing beer on this historic hill from the kitchen to the garage,” Barbanel writes. “Although I wasn’t distilling brandy or moonshine, I felt honored to carry on the traditions of the Hill with my crafted brew.”

When people visit the taproom, LaBossiere hopes the experience becomes more memorable because of the artwork he completed, with help from artists Dwight Teal Jr. and Julie Pereira.

The real reward for LaBossiere is seeing an architectural transformation of a space with a mural that “fools the eye,” he said. “If done well enough, and it’s interesting enough, it’s a work of art,” said LaBossiere, whose wife, Amy, is proud of the mural. “People will want to take photos of it ... selfies.”

“Pictures don’t do it justice,” said Barbanel, who plans to carry the design through to beer labels and marketing materials. “It’s a big part of our identity.”

The Still Hill Brewery will host a special event to unveil the mural March 13 from 2 to 5 p.m. at the Shunpike Business Center, 1275 Cromwell Ave., Building C. Food and refreshments will be provided.
